THE LUMINOUS MYSTERIES
OF OUR LORD, JESUS CHRIST

1) The Baptism

2) The Wedding at Cana

3) Proclamation of the Kingdom

4) The Transfiguration

5) Institution of the Eucharist

Call to mind any intentions and pray that they may be in union with God's will.

1) Make the sign of the cross.  (In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.)

2) Recite the Apostles Creed:

​

I believe in God, the Father almighty creator of heaven and earth and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. On the third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God, the Father almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

3) Praying for the intentions of our Holy Father and for all bishops leading our pilgrim church:

 

Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.  Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on Earth, as it is in Heaven.  Give us this day, our daily bread, and forgive us of our trespasses.  As we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.  Amen.

​

​

3) Praying for the an increase in the virtues of faith, hope, and charity:

​

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.  Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.  Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death.  Amen.  (x3)

​

​

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this exile
show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

​

Pray for us, most holy Mother of God,

​

that we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ. Amen.

Let us pray, O God, whose only begotten Son, by His life, death, and resurrection, has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life.  Grant, we beseech thee, that by meditating upon these mysteries of the most holy rosary, of the Blessed Virgin Mary, that we may imitate what they contain, and obtain what they promise, through the same Christ, our Lord. Amen.

​

In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Thanks for praying with us. May peace be with you.
